Does anyone know how too....

Disable the RAM Disk on the T5720?

I know how to go beyond the 64MB limit to 128MB (160MB Max without errors), but I need to know how to disable it which I have not successfully done.

The reason for this is I want to try to stream netflix, and it defaults to the Z: drive, but Netflix barks and says it needs 2gig of free space to work....

Yes, I have a 4gig Flash, and 1 gig of RAM. Runs real nice...

I have three T5720's... One is in the bedroom connected to my 32" TV with a wireless ASUS dongle, works very well...

You should post this in the thin client section.

To answer your question, the problem is not the internal drive. The issue is that your temp files are set to go to your Z drive which is a RAM drive that you can set to a max of 64mb. You would have to change your temp directory to your flash drive. It won't be as fast as the ram drive, but it would get you around that issue.

To change go to My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environment variables

Change the TEMP and TMP variables for both user and system as you like and reboot.

I am running netflix thro my T5720 and it runs great.
As Stroths suggested just change your temp variable to point to an external USB drive greater than 4GB and you should be fine.
Make sure to commit if you want to use the same setting next time.
